Los desaparecidos

There was a time when, even if we knew that the US sometimes played dirty, that in general rules and laws were followed. Now it would appear that laws or even basic morality no longer have a place at the table and that anything goes. The International Committee of the Red Cross now says that dozens of prisoners from the US secret detention programme, that the US government now claims is not active, at least for the moment, have simply disappeared.

Are they dead? Is the US government lying about the secret prisons? Both?

It just makes my chest swell with pride that I was graced to be born an American.
